Annotation

Positions of Breton speakers towards one another can imply power hustle within the Breton-speaking community and tries at producing elites and counter-elites appear a defining trait of modern revival attempts in Brittany. This paper examines how (elite) multilingualism is built, upheld and disputed by diverse actors in the Breton language community.
